Right now, we're going to talk about Bridgeport's now Bridport or used in order to quickly prototype
your circuits, they're essential if you are prototyping any embedded system because they help you connect
spin's together, they help you connect your embedded work to some sensors.
It is used as a distribution board for your wires and interconnection points for your wires.
So this board, this is how it looks like.
It's just a bunch of dots and we are going to understand how all these dots connected together.
Now, we'll take a look at this plus and minus those.
Vertical lines here are for power.
You can connect power to them here on both sides.
OK, now every four points are connected together, meaning these four points are actually connected
together.
These four of these four.
So let's say that you put five volts on the first point and the negative of your battery on this point
and then you take five and the minus from these two points, it would be the same because the plus and
minus for your battery can be taken from here, from here, from here, from here.
Hope for positive, something for negative.
OK, you could also jump wire in between so you can connect this dot with this dot and you have already
a battery connected to, you know, your battery is supplying all of these points and all of this points
for positive or negative.
Now you can short and put a jumper and put the wire in between every two right here.
And you might be able to have all of this line as your positive.
And all of this line is negative and then you can distribute to your other dots.
No, same thing for the left side.
It works exactly as here.
Every four points are connected together and you can show them in order to create a full line of positive
and a full line of negative.
OK, now, no, the points here are connected together vertically.
OK, so every vertical five points, a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h i j.
I connected together.
So from a two connected to one point from F to connected to one point.
OK, so if you take this positive and you connect it to J one, well are you.
One would be connected automatically.
Each one will be connected, G one will be connected and if one will be connected.
OK, so you have from one to 30 all of these are connected together.
So this five from thirty is five from twenty nine and so on, so forth.
So in this middle section vertically they are connected together.
But this does not mean that you're connected together.
They are not.
Or you're talking about every column.
So we have two columns from F to jump from A to each and every five points are connected together,
OK?
And we are going to do a lot of project and the breadboard.
But I just wanted you to know first how it is wire and you need to know the common point.
So it's very simple in between.
It's horizontal on the sides for the power.
It's vertical.
OK.
And whenever you see this connection discontinuation, it means that these points are not connected
together.
And that's it.
We're going to continue the next lecture.
